The world’s first carbon captured near-zero cement
Through ground-breaking innovation, we’re pioneering carbon capture and storage – and transforming our industry. By introducing the world’s first carbon captured near-zero cement, we’re giving forward-thinking construction partners the opportunity to build a better tomorrow. The near-zero footprint is achieved by applying chain of custody models – see assurance for additional information.
Be part of the journey to a net-zero future.
Big ambition. Small footprint.
Be a pioneer in sustainable construction with evoZero® – the world’s first carbon captured near-zero cement. Apply cutting-edge technology and unlock measurable impact across your entire project lifecycle. Build with technology and lead with purpose.
Pioneering the decarbonisation of our sector
Carbon capture technology has the potential to completely transform cement production and enable a whole new level of CO₂ reduction. We have been developing the industry’s first large-scale CCS facility in Norway since 2005.
Starting operations in 2025, the facility at our Brevik plant will capture 400,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually, equalling 50% of the plant’s emissions.
The success of Brevik CCS is the result of our unique team spirit and belief in new technology, plus years of expertise and thousands of hours of hard work. As the world’s first site to capture carbon emissions from clinker production on an industrial scale, Brevik is revolutionising cement production.
More impact. Less impact.
Empower your competitive edge with evoZero® – the world’s first carbon captured near-zero cement. Deliver ambitious projects with measurable sustainability impact and real bottom-line value, and turn your material choice into a powerful driver of change.
evoZero®: Enabling new levels of sustainable construction
By introducing the world’s first carbon captured near-zero cement, we’re giving forward-thinking construction partners the opportunity to build a better tomorrow.
Our customers will be able to choose between two evoZero® products. evoZero® Carbon Captured Brevik is produced in and delivered from Brevik. evoZero® Carbon Captured can be delivered from any European plant nearby a customer project, while leveraging the unique carbon reductions attributes realised in Brevik.
Stringent carbon capture and emission accounting mechanisms ensure that each tonne of captured CO₂ is only accounted for once. Furthermore, carbon capture attributes are transparent and traceable by using a blockchain-like technology. In this way Heidelberg Materials’ customers will receive a verifiable carbon proof for their evoZero® purchase.
No change. All change.
Future-proof your projects by being among the first to build with evoZero® – the world’s first carbon captured near-zero cement. With the reliability and durability you expect, and the sustainability the world demands, you work will stand the test of time.

Carbon accounting and third party assurance overview
CCS at Brevik stores CO₂ permanently. Emission cuts are recorded in a distributed‑ledger Carbon Bank, assured by DNV, and allocated to evoBuild/evoZero deliveries.
